Suspension Knock 2006 WRX
Hi Guys,
I think I may have the dreaded suspension knock. It sounds like something rolling around in the boot, especially when reversing at low speed. I'm going to try the lithium grease trick however, failing that, I can't seem to find appropriate replacements. KYB don't seem to do a 2006 strut and I don't (and my partner certainly doesn't) want the ride to be more stiff than it is, ruling out coilovers. Where can I get decent priced and quality struts to replace mine?
Cheers,
Andy

I have a 2005 WRX and I too wouldn't want the ride any harsher either. I did see an old post on here about the OE springs being 5:4 front:rear in blob eyes but that they could build adjustable coil-overs to 4:3 (same as classics) which improves the ride without being wallow-y. Certainly made me think......

I've just had 5/4 BCs fitted only slightly former and only noticeable on the worst roads at low speed , from 15 mph on the ride is fine and the handling sublime, don't waste your money on replacement shocks you'll have the same issue 10k miles down the road
